Application of Hydrothermal Pretreatment for Improving the Fermentation and Anaerobic Digestion Processes for Resource Recovery from Municipal Solid Waste
Farokh Laqa Kakar
Abstract:<p>This thesis comprehensively investigated the hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) parameters' impact on the sludge disintegration, volatile fatty acid (VFA), and methane production. It has also studied different process configurations and the development of a novel thermal-hydrolysis and vacuum fermentation for high-grade VFA recovery. Results confirmed the significant impact of HTP on all process parameters and a direct correlation between the retention time, sludge pH, and solid content with process para… Show more
